The government of leftist President Rafael Correa came up with an angry response on Thursday after an influential US senator said he would use his leverage over trade issues to cut preferential treatment of Ecuadoran goods at the US market, should Ecuador grant political asylum to Snowden.

So, in other words, blackmailing Ecuador financially?

Funny that.

The trade agreement the USA came up with, ATPDEA, has had little impact after 10 years.

From Wiki;

ATPDEA has had a negligible effect on the US economy and consumers as well as a small positive effect on drug-crop reduction and export-related job creation in the Andean region.

In other words, we probably wouldn't miss your help, USA!

And possibly also, so long for your insidious means to promote the importing of coke.

USA...world's largest consumer of cocaine (shipped from Colombia through Mexico and the Caribbean), Colombian heroin, and Mexican heroin and marijuana; major consumer of ecstasy and Mexican methamphetamine; minor consumer of high-quality Southeast Asian heroin; illicit producer of cannabis, marijuana, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, and methamphetamine; money-laundering center

The USA needs to stop being so righteous, and close its gates, and focus upon its own citizens needs...

Can I get an amen?

If you believe that corruption exists,would it not then be clear that corrupt people would do anything to hide evidence of their corruption?This is why conspiracy theories exist.Only because corruption exists.

THE ENTIRE WORLD SEES THIS GANGLY FUCK AS AS THE WEAKEST LINK :bamaerkel:

Most in America hate Obama, we didn't vote for him, don't respect him and realize he is put in place to destroy our country.

Please don't judge the average American because of what you hear in the MSM. We (majority) are not like that at all!

The United States has been set up for a fall and we are along for the ride and have absolutely no say and no where to turn.

If people in every other country would have protests against the U.S. Goverment and Obama administration it would have profound implications imo. What is being done in the US right now will effect every single person on this planet. Everyone should be outraged at this countries guberment!

Modern USA elections are a farce....they are a distraction to make the people think they have a choice...they don't.

it's a "selection"...not an election.

I voted Libertarian as did tons of other people...but they keep saying that gary Johnson didn't get the percentages he needed to publicly fund the Libertarian party in 2016...I call bullshit on that...

Why all Americans assume that the world is looking at Obama???The world is looking at all american citizens, Obama is not the first president to be an mercenary. Bush, Bush Jr, Carter, Nixon, etc. all mercenaries. So the people of the world is not looking to a single person. Is looking an entire country. Because you are the ones that allways put a democrat or republican n the white house. They are the same sh... with different smell.But please, listen to me. Stop blameing your president, cause people is looking at american citizens who freely vote this goverment. Is like when you talk about russians or muzzies, you don't blame only one person, you blame the entire country or the entirereligion.

Ive got a lot of american friends who travelled arround the world and they know that people think that way.

Please start to be a little bit more introspective.Remind that ten years ago your same goverment tell the world that al quaeda were the bads. We belive in you, we accept your police state in all the world cause they told us that this way will be safer.Now this goverment is telling to us that al quaeda are the good ones....Please....

Nobody will belive anymore in yours words or in your currancy.

Don't cry for me, Argentina!

You do realize that the people who are elected aren't necessarily the people who are voted in? Our votes don't count toward anything.

Not only that, but we have a massive amount of votes that are bought and paid for by "racism" propaganda and freebie handouts!

So please shut up the next time you wish to denigrate the citizens of America who have long voted against these idiots who keep returning to power, despite us using our constitutionally endowed right to vote them out. Voting does not mean CRAP in this country anymore.

Incestuous "government" who SELECTs the president.People only get to "elect" the lesser evilAnd yes, the people let this farce go on for way too longAnd now we have a Banana republic OUT OF CONTROL, where the preferred "answers" to serious questions are:"I don't know" and/or"I take the fifth", illegally used by "government" employees who do not follow ANY laws of a democratic republic

Our political system is rigged.

Our 'leaders' are selected by The Powers That Be. Voting is a sham - it counts for nothing. Sadly, very few of us realize this.

I don't get why you guys are being rude to this guy. He's pretty eloquent considering he's not a native English speaker, and he's trying to show you how the outside world views Americans. He may just be spot on, and if he is, that's frightening. Now what people have been trying to explain is that voting in this country has become a farce. It is indeed true that the majority of Americans no longer support this president, even if they were deluded enough to actually vote for him. I have noticed a sharper and sharper divide between what you would call "low information" voters, and the rest of the public. These are the people you see in youtube videos about how stupid Americans are. They do not represent all Americans any more than one specific demographic represents the entirety of any other country. It's unfortunate if other countries are really under the impression that we support this president, but I can assure you most do not, and that number grows daily.
